Campaigning allowed on campus

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Mahmud Hamundu, the rector of
Haluoleo University in Kendari, said on Wednesday that the
university would allow presidential and vice presidential
candidates to campaign in the university.

"The decision was hammered out during a senate meeting at the
university on Monday," said Mahmud.

The permit was granted to boost political education on campus.
"The students have to know the vision, mission and program of
their favorite presidential and vice presidential candidates
first hand before they vote for them," he said.

The campaign will be in the form of a panel discussion, if
there are more than one pair of candidates.

If there are only one pair, the students will hold a dialog
with them, he said. -- JP
